Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2025: Round 8 - Lockdown
Notes from the organizer: For Round 8, it's Lockdown again, this time the standard version. Apterous Plum is here to complicate things with his 6 small selections and his sporadic solving. Again, remember to always use the highlighted red number in your solution, whether directly or in a dead end before you reach the target.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 60
Weakest Links required: 4
Historic average Lockdown WL score: 168.01
Most Strongest Links: 2 - Tom Cappleman
Highest average Lockdown score (this year's entrants): 191 - Colin Thompson (1 game)
Highest scoring Lockdown Weakest Link: 146 - Owen Carroll (2024)
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.
FOUR lowest scoring Weakest Links will be leaving the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest scores then margin of victory/defeat will be taken into account amongst tied players followed, if necessary, by total score in the tournament so far (see notes by matches).
